Re: www/php port

well, because our in-tree httpd doesn't do DSO, you currently don't get a php
apache module. instead you get a cgi program in /usr/local/bin. So its
not that integrated (yet). but it could be in the future.
plus i think that people who have heard of php will think 'web' and look for
it in www, rather than think 'language' and look in lang.

I'm also going to add the following pkg/MESSAGE

PHP: OpenBSD post-installation note
-----------------------------------
To make PHP work you need to make a symbolic link to /usr/local/bin/php
from /var/www/cgi-bin/php, then add the following to your .htaccess files:
Action application/x-php3 /cgi-bin/php
AddType application/x-php3 .php3
There are various security concerns with having cgi-bin execuatbles, and
these are described in the PHP documentation (in /usr/local/share/doc/php).
(The alternative to a CGI-based PHP is to have an Apache 'DSO' module,
but DSO is not configured on all platforms, and not everyone has the
OpenBSD source tree.)
